Future wireless networks call for seamless coverage and higher data rates at low infrastructure cost. Cooperative relaying strategies are among the most promising of future technological solutions toward achieving this goal. The proposed research project intends to evaluate the system-level performance of a specific relaying architecture called the shared relaying network. To quantify the […]

  This project aims at designing and implementing an integrated control system for an audio power  amplifier system for portable devices, having good efficiency and sound quality. The proposed design controls a DC-DC converter to produce a varying power supply to a class AB output stage. The varying power supply tracks the input audio signal […]

The intern will be producing a therapeutic protein, i.e. ‘biologic’ (BMP2) using mutated bacterial plasmids as the bio-factory. The intern will create a sequence of DNA to be transformed into E. coli cells (BL21). The cells will be grown up in the lab, and studied for enhanced clinical efficacy. Proteins will be affinity purified and […]

The objective of the proposed project is to develop economical and sustainable technologies which contribute to the energy needs of the mining industry. The Tesla turbine is simple in construction, compact and tolerant to the working fluid composition. These advantages make it a potential ideal solution for use in energy recovery from industrial sites or […]

This project is a systemic review and assessment of diversity strategies currently in place at The Scarborough Hospital using the Diversity Institute’s Diversity Audit Tool (DAT). The DAT was developed based on research into leading practices and offers a lens through which diversity strategies can be analyzed; this will be the first time that it […]

Crosswell seismic tomography is a geophysical survey method in which the propagation of sound waves through the Earth’s crust is used to infer geological structure. An array of acoustic sources and receivers are placed into two separate boreholes, and full waveform recordings are made of the response to each source, measured at each of the […]

The involve company requires improvements to alternate energy systems, such as biogas production by anaerobic production. The present team work for a common front to expand the present knowledge for increasing the present profitability of the process. Recently, the idea of pretreating the sludge with ultrasonic wave to allow an increase of biogas production and […]

  The University of Toronto and Cameco Corporation propose to undertake a research project to adapt a measure of situation awareness to process control field operations. Situation awareness, or “knowing what is going on”, is intuitively linked to job performance in nuclear and chemical facilities. That is, if an operator “knows what is going on”, […]

Financial markets today are monitored and controlled by artificial intelligent algorithms. Developing these artificial intelligent algorithms requires a large amount of testing against complex patterns and phenomena observed in stock market. The main objective of the proposed project is the development of a market simulator. This is highly challenging and yet promising direction that will […]

  The purpose of this project is to explore the dynamics w ithin the Toronto East Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) by creating visual representations of the interconnections betw een the members involved in the Partnership. This research aims to use social network analysis to assess the relationships w ithin the Partnership in order to identify […]

The objective of this research project is to determine if athletes who use the Flexkor device to facilitate stretching after their workouts will result in comparable gains in hamstring flexibility and strength as would be obtained by athletes who use a trained therapist. Many elite athletes in a team environment rely heavily on therapists to […]

This project will provide a snapshot of diversity in hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). There are a number of culturally diverse groups (e.g., visible minorities, women) who face barriers to accessing healthcare services in Ontario as well as preventing their full workforce participation. In order to identify and address these barriers, diversity strategies […]
